Scripting News: Mozilla == Osborne?
june 2011
Bingo. Not so much about Mozilla, which is incidental and merely an object lesson, but about being "done." Versioning is a nice touch for OS 10.7. I'm afraid, though, that most tweaks and touches are going to nerf the system in a (not altogether misguided) attempt to make it easier for novices to use.

Moving on as the world moves on is a smart strategy if the world is moving to a better place. (That Jobs quote at the end is wonderful.

I casually mentioned they ought to burn it all if they really cared about making a profit on the Internet.)

Whoops and hashbangs

"Documentistas would have it so. I can’t possibly build anything for the web without every piece of it being addressable like a document. Users must be able to deep-link into any docu state of my application. These URLs must return content to robots too – because where would we be without web crawlers? – and of course it all needs to degrade nicely for legacy browsers and screen readers. In fact, I may as well just fake the whole thing with server-side markup and progressive enhancement anyway. Many do."
